Elizabeth Colomba“ Inspired by the legend of “Cupid and Psyche"



Elizabeth Colomba

“Inspired by the legend of “Cupid and Psyche” written in the 2nd century CE. by Apuleius,and reinterpreted within the context of Africa, this painting illustrates one of the insurmountable tasks Venus orders her to execute.

Apuleius was born in northern Africa, which is the reason I chose to mix Orientalism with Classicism.”
